So now that we are all energized from the soil health conference let's here some plans of stepping outside the comfort zone of what your mabey gonna try to implement this year? personally here I'm still gonna see if I can get some intercrop and relay type stuff to work. Moving forward with developing a compost and compost extracts program. Also looking to expand my zero synthetic fertility acres. grazing side we are gonna work on some twice over stuff and see if that can push us further in that system. Also more bale grazing and setup of that system

I am wondering if some of us that have significant soil snow cover could go out and check soil conditions under the snow and report back? I'm going to use a soil probe and shovel in field with cc. Those without probe could use a rod? Check to see if frozen, wetness and other conditions. I'm interested to see if cc is green? What do you think?

We had a full house for the McPherson County Conservation District Winter Workshop on January 18th in Long Lake, SD. The event featured Lee Briese, an agronomist and soil health enthusiast, and Cristin Weber, a Pheasants Forever Precision Ag and Conservation Specialist. Throughout the evening, local producers engaged in conversations on what causes soil salinity and how to manage these acres.

Has anyone used a ready to mix compost extract such as bio 5 on dry land crop in an area that gets less than 20” of rainfall per year on average and seen any positive results? Wanting to cut back on commercial fert in our no till wheat, milo, and safflower.

There are some products like this product call Excavator that claims to speed up residue breakdown. As a long term notiller I would NOT be in favor breaking down residue faster as I want as much ground cover as possible and I always have residue breaking down and releasing nutrients In established notill. My question is would this be a beneficial product to use the first 3 or 4 years a person is transitions to help with residue breakdown and nutrient release? Any thoughts?
